Recent media coverage has acknowledged the well-deserved success of the faculty and staff of L. E. Fletcher Technical Community College in earning the institution-candidacy status from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. While Fletcher has distance to go to complete the final accreditation process, the Nicholls State University faculty and administrative colleagues want to acknowledge the success of the Fletcher family in the accreditation effort. As university personnel who have undergone a regional accreditation review, we only too clearly understand the amount of work involved in that effort and the accomplishment represented in the candidacy status.

I want to take this very public means to congratulate Chancellor Travis Lavigne and his faculty and staff for this significant accomplishment. Through Lavigne’s leadership and the considerable effort of his faculty and staff, Fletcher is well along the road to earning regional accreditation. Fletcher is quickly establishing itself as a strong technical community college and one with a clear record of service to the region.
